Yeah, but I don’t know if I can handle the disappointment that will come when he either outlives us all, or our dreams come true, only to make us realize that the dream is really an even-worse nightmare. It’s not like the alternative is any better.

Tariffs on naps would be a tragedy of epic proportions! We need Right-to-Nap zones! I hope the Orangeys understand the importance of this issue, though they appear to be asleep at the wheel!

Is that a CROSS?

Sorry . . . I got all excited when I read "He's gonna go down." Why didn't she stop there?

If a baker can refuse to make a cake for members of a protected class of customers, why the heck can't a pierogi-maker refuse to sell pierogi to an ass-hat - which is not any sort of protected class. And, my, what a fine use of that *amazing* legal mind! Harvard Law must be so proud.
Robin Borgestedt (@rborgestedt.bsky.social) reply parent
True. Sorry. Just seems to deserve special mention since they seem to rejoice as they TRAMPLE it all day long, with every action they take.
Robin Borgestedt (@rborgestedt.bsky.social) reply parent
Maybe add The First Amendment to that list.

Well, then it's a good thing that "thoughts and prayers" are free, since that is all the GOP has to offer when it comes to gun violence.

Same in Massachusetts for as long as I can remember. Bring your cans and long necks back to the packy when you go to get more on your way to Nantasket Beach for a wicked day!

Impossible to know, but Kompromat seems likely. Why else would he suck so hard?

Will they be before or after Infrastructure Week???

You are so far off-base that it’s painful. Mr. Bryon and his head of HR surrendered their privacy when they took their relationship public. Their spouses are the only victims here - and their perpetrators are their own supposed loved ones. Chris Martin and the internet did nothing wrong.

There’s never a DOGE-Bro around when you need one. Not that they would care.

What does it matter. SCOTUS will say "no problem!" I predict a 5-3 vote.

And we’re talking about Brunswick, Maine. Other than skiing, if you didn’t serrupticiously borrow a table every now and then for fun, what else would you do?

If someone started openly and publicly violating J-Vanka's or the 🤡's copyrights, I bet they would find someone to do the work pretty fast.

The number of concurring opinions is confounding. These MAGA justices couldn't even agree to just toss reason, law, and precedent out the window. Thomas and Alito, in particular, had to compete between themselves for the lowest of the low - and go lower - not that anyone is surprised.

The newer, high tech soles are too sticky now, so when the body pivots, that foot stays put, creating more twisting/torque injuries and tears.

No! Please! It’s too much like “Don Naked” and that makes me vomit, so, no. Please. Let this one go! 🤢🤮

Is it really about stupidity though? MAGA may not like conflict with Iran, but as long as women and “the other” are under their boot, they will not care. Nothing else matters as much to them.

Don't forget "beautiful clean coal!" Good grief. They want everyone who is not a billionaire dead.

Should we be surprised that Kagan is in the majority on some of these cases? Can you offer any insight there?

Yes, well, the danger of normalizing cops refusing to properly identify themselves and being utterly lawless comes home to roost.

“The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs. These criminals will be arrested and swiftly brought to justice.” That’s rich.

Well, it is miraculous market manipulation that the entire GOP has, I’m sure, miraculously profited from.

Well, obviously, Kermit was a DEI choice - he only got the job because he is green. I mean, if you drained the swamp, the frogs would be the first to go. And he’s so woke that he’s in a relationship with someone from another species! I don’t even know what letter of the alphabet that is!

In other words, he is trying to revive Trump University. And Columbia bent its knee to being the rube. Willingly.

Give Marge in HR a yellow jacket and a chainsaw and get her out there on the fire line if she wants to keep her job. This is just all too much. They see public servants as chumps. All while these fascists are out lining their pockets.

Maybe you can offer visitors a new "Park Experience" - empty 6 trash cans or clean two bathrooms and get a sticker in your "Park Star Passport!" Or don't let visitors out of the parking lot unless they take a 30 gallon bag of trash with them!

It seems very optimistic to think this is peak stupid. I fear we haven't seen the peak yet. We are just in the foothills.

What a coincidence - 20% of 38 is 7.6. They must have found someone who could do the math for them.

Brain death.

Same! Ran for Planning Board because everyone said: "Run for office!" Lots of reading and preparation but hoping to make a difference but we get ours the weekend before the meeting. With nationwide housing shortages, though, it's such important work!

He is going because he knows the Pope would NOT have wanted him there, and for the photo ops.

I would assume that even foreign interests could make such purchases and gain access this way. Has there ever been a more horrible or corrupt excuse for a human been president before? All of this seems to make Nixon look like an amateur.

That is sort of the point - nobody will know exactly what is required. Maybe a marriage license will work. Maybe not. Maybe a passport will work. Maybe not. Their goal is to be able to turn you away for any reason in the hope that you will give up.
Robin Borgestedt (@rborgestedt.bsky.social) reply parent
Nothing says “we hate women and don’t want them to vote” like making them provide a marriage certificate in order to register to vote if they changed their last name.

At 14 we were pretty much limited to Mad Magazine and some comic books. At 15, most if us hadn’t even graduated to Rolling Stone yet.

It is amazing that these MAGA morons and fan-boys for fascism are so threatened by one young adult with an opinion that differs from their own that they would be OK with burning it all down to silence him. His voice has no impact on foreign policy or national security.

But, surely, at some point, a pediatrician advised this family to vaccinate this child, so I don’t buy this. It is one thing to say he was swayed by a bunch of nuts, but I am sure he had access to knowledgeable experts and he ignored them.
